Is it true that XLRI does not consider past academics for admission?
Past Academics are not just mere parameters for admission but they evaluate your consistency in performing well across various academic stages. This signifies your flexibility to adapt and maintain a consistent result. Thus a well-maintained and stable academic record ensures your competency and is given more importance than inconsistency in your academic profile.
Most B-School consider past academic records to ensure the student’s ability to give consistently good results. XLRI too is one such institute, the only difference being that initial shortlisting is not done on that basis. This enables candidates with a valid reason for average past academics to justify their profile. In fact, their justification can even convince the panelists to consider them over other candidates with better past academic records.
The reason I am so confident about this is that my sister told me her batchmates comprised both; students with excellent past academic records and students with below-average academic records. These students managed to seek admission by performing excellently in the post-written process.
So, XLRI does consider past academics but not for initial shortlisting and the overall weightage given to academics is comparatively less than other B schools.

- IIT Bombay enjoys a higher locational advantage as well as a better-equipped campus.
- While both IITs have a decent Research culture, IIT Bombay is at a level higher than IIT Delhi in this aspect. It has a larger number of Papers and Patents to its credit.
- The ambiance at IIT Bombay is rather chill with no strict rules and regulations. You are free to do anything and no restrictions are imposed on dress code or LAN.
- IIT Bombay has a better climate than IIT Delhi.
- IIT Bombay enjoys the advantages of being a Financial capital with additional opportunities for the non-core sector.
- IIT Bombay has a few BS programs like BS Economics, Mathematics, and Chemistry which are not present in IIT Delhi. These programs are a bridge between engineering and applied science and render a wide scope of research and at the same time, applied fields.
- IIT Delhi has extra BTech programs like BTech Textile, BTech, and BioTech. The students of these programs usually go for non-core jobs and corporate life.
- IIT Bombay welcomes a number of eminent personalities. Some recently invited personalities include PM Narendra Modi, Brett Lee, Sadhguru, Yami Gautam.

Which is better, VIT Vellore, Thapar Patiala or SRM?
ranking for most people: Thapar > VIT Vellore > SRM — SRM generally last, inconsistent placements and huge batch.
- Thapar: JEE-based admission so peer quality is better. FCCS system lets you pick timings + professors. CSE avg ~Rs.11.9 LPA. fees ~Rs.4.6L/year. great for north India jobs. Patiala city is quiet but academics are solid
- VIT Vellore: near Chennai + Bangalore = more industry exposure and startup culture. NIRF rank 11 engineering. fees ~Rs.2.5L/year. batch size huge (~8,000/year) pulls down averages though. south India students generally thrive here
- SRM: okay for CSE if other options fall through. decent but inconsistent placements
for CSE at all three — go Thapar if north India jobs and better peer quality matter. go VIT if south India + industry exposure is more important or you want to save on fees. SRM only as last resort ngl.
